The Frog and the PrincessProduction Background
Group of 2 (Terrytoons, 1944.
This pair of paintings is very unusual! A pair of hand-painted 12
field production backgrounds from the Gandy Goose theatrical short,
a parody of the Frog Prince fable directed by Eddie Donnelly and
originally released on April 7th, 1944. Gouache and watercolor on
10" x 13" heavyweight animation paper. The first, is a painting of
the Princess' bedroom door, with beautiful cream-colored paint and
light pin wallpaper - and the second is a removable cutout of a
keyhole - which was used under the camera for a special "through
the keyhole" spying effect into the Princess' bedroom! The last is
a depiction of the Princess' lovely bedroom - complete with stone
walls, bed curtains, and lacey sheets! An incredible set of
paintings! All are labeled with the film's number: "T-360" in the
top left corner and the scenes are labeled in the top right. In
Fine condition.
